The Graphs in Fig 3A4-6. What does the vertical part of the characteristic mean?

There is a problem with these graphs. What is it and how should it be corrected?

  • They are certainly peculiar graphs.


    Normally one would find the desired prospective current along the abscissa, go up to the line, and then turn left to find the trip time at the ordinate. As stated above, if one is in the magnetic trip area, it does not really work.


    However, one might wish to be assured that a PFC (at the end of a final circuit) is sufficient to operate ADS within the correct interval, in which case go the other way and the graphs may be more useful.


    Odd that they do not have a range of values as with the ones supplied by manufacturers.
